I highly recommend him as both a presenter and a dinner companion!’
Caroline & Michael Foulger, Seabourn Ovation Guests
Anthony’s presenting career began in 2009 when he worked as a television presenter for a documentary series about the life and travels of Charles Darwin. This series involved an eight-month adventure, resailing the Voyage of HMS Beagle around the world on board a beautiful, three masted tallship, during which Anthony featured as one of the presenters. Anthony has been presenting and lecturing ever since, shedding light on fascinating subjects in entertaining and eye-opening ways.
“Creating engaging and memorable presentations is my passion – I’m constantly hunting down those surprising facts and fascinating stories that make a lecture come to life!”
